Twenty things sounds like a lot. I hear you. All the no-buyers and minimalists, bear with me for just three minutes—I’m trusting you, okay? Firstly, a small sampling of some of the things I mention: kid’s school timers, pens, a belt and underwear. Most of these things are necessities and many are under $20. We moved this summer, I hit the one year postpartum mark this summer, I worked with a new naturopath this summer and we traveled far more than I thought we would. All of those things are a little bit of a breeding ground for necessary purchases and as a professional noticer and sharer, it’s my duty to bring you the twenty best purchases I’ve made over the past few months.

We’ve got the Target print of my dreams, our nightstand lamps (also Target which shocks everyone who sees them), my body oil, a smoothie cup set for the kids, a game changing timer and everything in between. It’s random, it’s nosy, it’s a good time.
